The sheer weight of the sunken cost fallacy is absolutely crippling to people. They don’t want to give up the narrative on which they were raised, because the idea that *their entire life was a complete lie and everything they ever did was directly in contradiction to their own health and spiritual well-being* is often too much to accept. They’ll just reject what you say off-hand for no reason other than that. They don’t want to admit to themselves that their lives, their parents’ lives, and their grandparents’ sacrifices in war… was for absolutely nothing.
absolutely spot on. that is why "revolutions" are typically a younger mans game, they have little if anything to lose.
